Re:Building a faster hash table for high performance SQL joins by rkerno on Wednesday December 20, 2023 @03:04PM (#38712959)
Hi, I'm curious how you deal with the potential for hash collisions across a large data set - is that a post-join check?

Hi, if you're asking about the hash table itself, then currently we use linear probing, i.e. k/v pairs with a collision are inserted sequentially starting with the hash%capacity index.
